Our market-leading solutions always create added value for our customers.</p><p>"Being the first to do the right thing at the right time." This entrepreneurial maxim was one of the guiding principles of our founder Kurt A. Körber and remains central to our actions today. In our strategy, which is geared towards long-term profitable growth, we therefore focus on ecosystems that solve the increasingly complex problems of our customers today and tomorrow.</p></div></section></div></div><a class="anchor" id="c6486"></a><a class="anchor" id="c6487"></a><div id="t6486" ><section id="c6486" class="quote spacing-t-m"><figure class="side-image round"><div class="image-container"><img src="/fileadmin/_processed_/a/b/csm_WIR_Management_2_c0177a60d4.jpg" width="200" height="200" alt="" loading="lazy" /></div></figure><blockquote><p class="quote-small"><span class="quotemarks">l</span><span>Our strategy of focusing on global megatrends and technology trends is paying off.

We accelerate – strengthening the core business</strong><br> Körber is already a leader in many areas. We are consolidating this market position by optimizing processes or strengthening our global competitiveness, for example. This will enable us to provide our products and services to our customers even faster and more efficiently in the future.</p><p><strong>2. We innovate – integrating new technologies and business models</strong><br> We invest an above-average amount in research and development in order to continue to live up to our ambition of "market leadership through technology leadership" in the future. This applies to all three levels of our technology stack: hardware, software and digital solutions, which we connect with each other in the best possible way. We see enormous potential for value creation in particular in the use of data with the help of artificial intelligence – which is why cybersecurity is an important priority at Körber.</p><p><strong>3. We grow – exploiting new and global markets</strong><br> Globally positioned, regionally established: With more than 100 locations, we are globally present in order to be as close as possible to our customers and markets and to serve them in the best possible way. In addition to our core markets, we focus in particular on high-growth markets in Asia and North America.</p></div></section></div></div><a class="anchor" id="c6494"></a><a class="anchor" id="c6495"></a><div id="t6494" ><div class="spacing-t-m"><section class="content"><div class="outer copy-md"><h2 class="order-5">A foundation for the future</h2><p>Sustainability is an integral part of our strategy.
